Yeah, we all knew he was leaving. I believe he's going to another team if memory serves me? Just a matter of time for Loic Serra to take over the position.
This year's car has been slipping farther and farther behind. Are the two related? Well, if it was the opposite-- I would be surprised.
They tested the upgrades in Britain Fp1 & FP2 against the Imola spec and they actually made the car slower. This was the final straw. Vassuer is a much more proactive leader than Binotto.
We already suspected he was going to Aston Martin since some months ago, his latest trespasses are not related (they could have been in the near future though). The big question is who is next?
I still don’t get why Ferrari didn’t impose him a gardening leave ? This is pretty unusual for a first rank engineer.
Loic Serra. He doesn't start with Ferrari until Oct.1st. Probably will have inputs in the 2025 car but most likely will be 100% input in the 2026 car
So given how Ferrari goes thru TP's, this is Ferrari's 4th Tech. Dir. so far since: 1) Rueda 2) Sanchez 3) Mekies 4) Now Cardile The stability of instability.
Well, those all weren't technical director. At other teams is often arriving and leaving people, it's just that we don't care about them.
And alot of these guys ended just not being good enough for their jobs... When you get 3-4 years to achieve results and come up short, it's on you, not the company. Enrico was at Ferrari over a decade, the team hasnt had fastest car for a whole season for 15 years. People can say about the company culture all they want, but the people clearly weren't the right ones either. Don't expect the 2025 car to be any good either, that is Cardiles last input.
Just like the Team Principals since Domenicali? How many TP's have Ferrari gone thru since? How many TP's have Mercedes gone thru? How many TP's have RedBull gone thru?
Well Toto as an owner won't fire himself, and Christian shares his coco puffs with Red Bulls thai owners; so there is not even a possibility to fire them... Wolff fired half of the Mercedes team though after zero pods
